SSBMV  performs the matrix-vector  operation


    y := alpha*A*x + beta*y,


 where alpha and beta are scalars, x and y are n element vectors and


 A is an n by n symmetric band matrix, with k super-diagonals.

UPLO

          UPLO is CHARACTER*1


           On entry, UPLO specifies whether the upper or lower


           triangular part of the band matrix A is being supplied as


           follows:


              UPLO = 'U' or 'u'   The upper triangular part of A is


                                  being supplied.


              UPLO = 'L' or 'l'   The lower triangular part of A is


                                  being supplied.

N

          N is INTEGER


           On entry, N specifies the order of the matrix A.


           N must be at least zero.

K

           On entry, K specifies the number of super-diagonals of the


           matrix A. K must satisfy  0 .le. K.

ALPHA

          ALPHA is REAL


           On entry, ALPHA specifies the scalar alpha.

A

          A is REAL array, dimension ( LDA, N )


           Before entry with UPLO = 'U' or 'u', the leading ( k + 1 )


           by n part of the array A must contain the upper triangular


           band part of the symmetric matrix, supplied column by


           column, with the leading diagonal of the matrix in row


           ( k + 1 ) of the array, the first super-diagonal starting at


           position 2 in row k, and so on. The top left k by k triangle


           of the array A is not referenced.


           The following program segment will transfer the upper


           triangular part of a symmetric band matrix from conventional


           full matrix storage to band storage:


                 DO 20, J = 1, N


                    M = K + 1 - J


                    DO 10, I = MAX( 1, J - K ), J


                       A( M + I, J ) = matrix( I, J )


              10    CONTINUE


              20 CONTINUE


           Before entry with UPLO = 'L' or 'l', the leading ( k + 1 )


           by n part of the array A must contain the lower triangular


           band part of the symmetric matrix, supplied column by


           column, with the leading diagonal of the matrix in row 1 of


           the array, the first sub-diagonal starting at position 1 in


           row 2, and so on. The bottom right k by k triangle of the


           array A is not referenced.


           The following program segment will transfer the lower


           triangular part of a symmetric band matrix from conventional


           full matrix storage to band storage:


                 DO 20, J = 1, N


                    M = 1 - J


                    DO 10, I = J, MIN( N, J + K )


                       A( M + I, J ) = matrix( I, J )


              10    CONTINUE


              20 CONTINUE

LDA

          LDA is INTEGER


           On entry, LDA specifies the first dimension of A as declared


           in the calling (sub) program. LDA must be at least
